  1. 1A total of 294 QTL were identified which 27 of them were associated with more than trait or segregating in more than one breed leaving 159 unique QTL.
  2. 2Bovine chromosome and nth 1 Mb window on the same chromosome starting at zero and based on the UMD3.1 assembly.
  3. 3The traits are shown as BWT (birth weight), CED (calving ease direct), CEM (calving ease maternal), CWT (carcass weight), MRB (marbling), MWT (mature weight), REA (ribeye muscle area), WWD (weaning weight direct), WWM (weaning weight maternal), YGR (yield grade) and YWT (yearling weight).
  4. 4The breeds are shown as AAN (Angus), BRG (Brangus), BSH (Shorthorn), CHA (Charolais), GVH (Gelbvieh), HER (Hereford), LIM (Limousin), RAN (Red Angus), RDP (Maine-Anjou) and SIM (Simmental).
